In a twist to this year's Miss Universe Singapore (MUS) theme, Vie for a Beautiful Cause, 15 of the pageant's finalists rode for a cause instead.

On Saturday Sept 2, they saddled up for a charity event at the Singapore Turf Club Riding Centre, spending the morning with 20 children aged between five and 15 from the Singapore Children's Society Sunbeam Place.

Together, they toured the stables for a pony feeding and patting session and even went on pony rides.

With 11 service centres - including Sunbeam Place - islandwide, the Singapore Children's Society provides shelter for and nurtures children and youth in need.

The finalists and children were introduced to one other and given a briefing before horsing around.

INTERACTION

Each finalist was partnered with a young beneficiary before they were split into two groups, swopping activities later.
